MX-FR65R allows only 8.
The frame has 10 physical board slots, but will not boot up when more
than 8 input or output boards are inserted. Only the number of the
boards is limited, thus they can be used in any of the physical slots.
However, to gain exclusive access to the Test input and Preview output
ports on the MX-CPU2, it is recommended to leave the last slot empty.
For example, if the input slot #1 is empty, there can be 8 input boards
in slots #2 to #9 and the slot #10 left empty. In this case the 65 input
ports can be accessed with port numbers 9-72 and 80.
